Weapons, engines and mods, Oh my!

Crystalline armor is hardly ever used, esp. in PBW games. That is not a good reason to use torpedos in most cases.

And, you just have to mount those APBs. Large or Heavy Mounted, they pierce right through CA with no problem, unless you use an absurd amount, like 10 or more. In that case, just use some Shield Disruptors to eliminate the shield generators.

Emmissive armor doesn't do enough to matter much, esp. with mounts.

Quontum Torpedoes were king in the PBW Grit Tech game. Of course we disabled all the energy weapons at game setup.

A lot of weapons look like crap, until you put them on a mount.

Not saying I use them, I have yet to really check them out

Torpedoes are good... compared to Graviton Hellbores... ;->

I've heard people making proposals about a mod to "balance" all weapons and making all of them worth researching, each with its own unique advantages/disadvantages, but I have never seen such a mod.

What a great idea. Let's put together a weapons mod that balances all of these weapons out.

"What a great idea. Let's put together a weapons mod that balances all of these weapons out."

This is not easy. Let me repeat that.

This.Is.Not.Easy.

I think the reason you don't see many if any released balanced mods is because people try and fail.
